Hi,
We have somewhat of a large CMake project consisting of about 25
libraries. Configuring on Linux over NFS is a snap taking only a few
seconds. Configuring on a local C:\ for the Windows build is also very
fast only taking a few seconds.
When we go to configure a build on a remote file server (using either
Samba or Windows XP File Sharing) we notice a dramatic slowdown in
performance. Suddenly, initial configuration and generation of VCproj
files takes about 2-3 minutes as opposed to about 20 seconds with the
hard drive. If I nuke CMakeCache.txt and reconfigure from scratch it
takes about the same amount of time which seems to indicate that there
is _no_ SMB file caching going on.
Part of me thinks this is just a flaw with Windows XP but I'm having a
hard time believing that it's really this bad.
I was wondering if anyone could report on their experiences configuring
a build with source and binary directories located on a remote file
server with Windows XP?
